On July 16, 2020, the “Innovation Base of Earthquake Engineering Comprehensive Simulation” held the 17th “Cloud Report” and invited Prof. Wei Wu from Universität für Bodenkultur, Vienna, to present a report named “Simulation of granular material with phase transition between solid and fluid”.
This report was hosted by Associate Prof. Jie Xu, School of Civil Engineering. Prof. Mingjing Jiang, Vice dean of School of Civil Engineering, attended the report and delivered a welcome speech.
In the report, Prof. Wei Wu first explained the motivation and assumption. Then he introduced the hypoplastic model with density dependence, combined model for debris flow, and rate dependence and creep. The audience at the meeting had a deeper understanding of the simulation of granular material with phase transition between solid and fluid. After the report, Prof. Wei Wu and the audience conducted an online discussion on related issues and took a group photo.
This “Cloud Report” attracted a total of 127 teachers and students from Tianjin University, Tongji University and other universities. They all responded enthusiastically to the report.
